“One of the world’s leading experts on seventeenth-century Dutch masters, the flamboyant Willem Jan Hoogsteder, runs a gallery on Lange Vijverberg in The Hague. He explains some of the subtle nuances of the art trade to Liesbeth Wytzes. “A copyist paints part of the cuff and then the coat beside it, because a copyist copies; but that’s not how a real painter paints.”

Super busy at Museum Beelden aan Zee yesterday, as the cameras rolled for television programme Tussen Kunst en Kitsch. Around a thousand visitors came to get their paintings, jewellery and other family treasures valued.

De Witt Brothers presentation

Hoogsteder & Hoogsteder art gallery in The Hague features a presentation on the De Witt Brothers in this year’s autumn exhibition of old master paintings. Centrepiece of the show is a portrait that Willem Jan Hoogsteder discovered at an auction. While the painter was evidently Abraham Ragueneau, the subject was anonymous.
